Chapter 518: The Highlight Moment of Senior Cannon Fodder

"Damn it, that Dak'er... where the hell did she go?" Heartbreaker Richard looked up at Nemegate, who had already ascended into the air, his shark teeth grinding loudly. But at this moment, he was thinking of a cadre from their Xiu sect who had been missing for a long time.

That is, she was captured by Lin Zhenxi and then handed over to Yinguan Daker of the Alien Clan.

In the often reckless Xia Xiu sect, a skilled defender is a rare find. Yet, that not-so-smart girl, Da Ke'er, has earned a reputation as the Xia Xiu sect's strongest defender thanks to her masterful barrier techniques. If Da Ke'er were here right now, the Xia Xiu sect would simply have to shrink and hide beneath her barrier to ensure safety, rather than having to dodge the terrifying attack of the iron dragon descending from the sky.

Nemegate has already taken off into the air, and attacks that can hit it have become very rare. Richard is helpless anyway, and it is estimated that no one in the entire Xiu sect can knock Nemegate down from the sky.

Is this all I can do? Richard looked up angrily at the mighty iron dragon in the sky, cursing it viciously in his heart why it didn't explode in the next second.

Unexpectedly, a pitch-black magic sphere suddenly appeared at Nemegate's location, colliding violently with its internal energy circuits. A pale red, translucent shield appeared over Nemegate's body, but it barely lasted a second before being crushed by the black magic sphere.

The magic ball then smashed into Nemegate's chest, dissolving the energy in his chest reactor, which had once again accumulated a considerable amount of energy. With a sizzling sound, the energy flow within Nemegate's body became disrupted, and he lost even his balance and fell directly from the sky.

The old man Ron, who was standing at the rear of the demon army, retracted his dim eyes and whispered, "At least now, we are still comrades on the same front."

"I owe you a favor." The dog-headed lady expressed her gratitude to the old-looking Void Master.

That black ball is the signature magic of the Void Mage. Back then, Ron relied on this seemingly simple ball of nothingness to defeat the fire-controlling warlock Schneider and became the new leader of Tarakuta after Alice.

The Sphere of Nothingness was only a mid-level dark magic for an elemental mage, above which lay the higher-level magic known as the Black Hole of Annihilation. Normally, this slow-moving magic was only learned by elementalists during their transitional period of growth, and was essentially abandoned once they became a Grand Mage.

But the Void Mage chose not to do so. He particularly loved the magic of the Void Sphere and developed it to its full potential. In the hands of the Void Mage, the once ordinary Void Sphere displayed terrifying power. It could appear anywhere and obliterate any object it came into contact with, whether energy or physical form. Nothing could resist the devouring power of the black sphere.

Nemegate plummeted from the sky, creating a massive crater in the ground. Had the Kashou faction not been disrupted by the charge of the enhanced Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, drawing all their attention, Nemegate would likely have never gotten back up.

The development of the battlefield was just as Lin Zhenxi had expected. The participation of the Ashura Rhinoceros Beetles completely disrupted the battle order of the Xiu Sect and attracted almost all the attention of the fighters. They didn't even have time to finish off Nemegate who fell from the sky, and they just bought Nemegate time to recover and get up again.

Richard withdrew his arm from the chest of an Asura Rhinoceros Beetle with a look of disgust, then raised his hand and released a burst of blood and energy, blowing the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, which had a big hole in its chest but was still unaffected in its movements, away. Only then did he have time to look around at the situation on the battlefield.

At this point, the Xia Xiu sect's situation was far from ideal. Ever since those red-skinned creatures, with their incredible self-repair abilities, capable of recovering from a blow without a scratch, rushed onto the battlefield and charged directly into the Xia Xiu sect's ranks, the Xia Xiu sect was in a predicament, not knowing who to attack. Enemies were everywhere, even right next to them. If the magic exploded in the crowd, not to mention what would happen to the red-skinned giants, their own ranks would likely suffer heavy losses first.

However, if you don't use high-powered magic, there is no way to fight against those naked red monsters with only those small-scale single-target magic. Even if those monsters have very simple means of attack, and can only punch and kick, and lack the means of long-range attack, but those punches and feet are still powerful enough to break rocks and shatter monuments. If they hit people, at the very least they will break arms and legs and lose their combat effectiveness, at the worst their internal organs will rupture and they will die on the spot. As a result, when fighting against the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, the people of the Xiu Sect have to consider their own protection first, and they are so timid. How can they fight this battle if they continue like this?

Richard wasn't the only one who realized this. The leaders of the various magical organizations watching from the back row also realized this. Especially when the Silent City's mechanical army returned, the presence of the Xiaxiu faction meant that neither the Tarakuta magicians nor the Ancient Library's magical machines could unleash their firepower on the battlefield ahead. If those robots joined the fray, the Xiaxiu faction would be completely defeated.

No matter how powerful the Xiaxiu sect was, could they possibly withstand the simultaneous fire of a hundred machine guns? To defeat the mechanical army, they had to use wide-area ranged magic to bombard them before they even made contact. Once they engaged them at close range, the balance of power would inevitably tilt in favor of the Silent City in a chaotic battle.

In terms of attrition, the Demon Realm army had no chance of winning. This was a reality that couldn't be changed, even if the enslaved elves from the "Second Promise" were included. Silent City had quietly developed for millennia, and its accumulated resources must have been astronomical. The mechanical corps now blocking the Demon Realm army were pure industrial production lines, capable of producing as many robots as needed at full capacity. The cost of damage wasn't even a consideration. Even trading a hundred robots for one of the Demon Realm army's would be a net profit.

But the demon army is in a desperate situation where every time they use one, they lose another, so the war definitely cannot be fought like this.

Therefore, there is no suspense about the retreat of the Xiu Sect. They must break contact with the Asura Rhinoceros Beetles before the arrival of the Mechanical Legion's Air Force. Otherwise, as long as the Mechanical Legion's air bombardment comes, they will have no chance of escape.

But if they wanted to leave, they had to first ask the Asura Rhinoceros Beetles, who were under Buffon's control in Silent City, for their consent. While the Asura Rhinoceros Beetles lacked ranged attack capabilities, their ability to withstand blows was truly incredible. Even a hail of bullets from the mechanical army would be easily handled by the Asura Rhinoceros Beetles.

Isn't it just a few holes in the body and missing limbs from the explosion? Aren't those minor injuries that can be healed by blinking your eyes? Do you still need to hide? Is it necessary?

Since he was not afraid of being blown up, Asura Rhinoceros Beetle now held the idea of ​​dragging as many people as possible, and jumped directly to the center of the Xiaxiu Sect's battle group, and then launched a group charge against the retreating Xiaxiu Sect. Like a big brush, it pushed the Xiaxiu Sect fighters who were about to retreat towards the direction of the giant tower of Silent City.

It was just this delay that caused the artillery coverage of the Mechanical Legion behind the Silent City to come down. In an instant, flames shot up into the sky. The screams of the Xiu Sect fighters were completely drowned out by the various explosions. Many Xiu Sect members were set on fire and blown to pieces, and were almost silent in an instant.

Seeing that things were hopeless, the decision-makers in the rear of the Demon Realm army were too lazy to consider whether there would be any survivors. They directly ordered Tarakuta's magician troops to use legion magic again on the area that had been bombarded by artillery. Although it completely cut off the life of all the survivors in that area who had not yet died, it also formed a division on the battlefield, blocking the subsequent advancement of the mechanical army. By the way, it also killed the Asura Rhinoceros Beetles who were also beaten to a pulp by the bombardment but none of them died.

Although the Asura Rhinoceros Beetles have strong self-healing abilities, under the large-scale attack of the Legion's magic, the mysterious protection provided by the mutated slime on their bodies is still not enough. The magical protection was quickly penetrated, and the core hidden inside the body was destroyed. They exploded one by one like balloons.

This scene was also seen by the high-level leaders of the Demon Realm Army in the rear, which made them realize that these red monsters with super self-healing abilities had insufficient magical defense capabilities.

However, this weakness was only relative, as the enhanced Asura Rhinoceros Beetles, modified by Lin Zhenxi, already possessed rudimentary magical defenses, capable of withstanding ordinary single-target magic. Once these red-skinned musclemen got close, powerful, large-scale spells would naturally be rendered useless. Had Tarakuta's legion magic not included allies this time, it wouldn't have completely annihilated the Asura Rhinoceros Beetles, which had already been bombarded by artillery fire.

Having said that, these Asura Rhinoceros Beetles were really unlucky. First they were hit by a wave of artillery bombardment from the Silent City, and then they were hit by Tarakuta's legion magic. It was a double destructive blow from physical and magical attacks. If they could survive, it would be really unfair.

But as cannon fodder, high-level cannon fodder, these Asura Rhinoceros Beetles completed their tasks perfectly.

Their final wave of charge blocked the retreat routes of more than two hundred Xiupai fighters, causing them to perish together with themselves.

In this second battle, the Xiaxiu Sect suffered a total loss of nearly 600 people, which was definitely a severe blow to the heart. Not only did it severely damage the Xiaxiu Sect, but it also undermined the morale of the Demon Realm army, making them begin to doubt whether their rash decision to cause trouble for the Silent City was a rational choice made after careful consideration.
